Gender bias in gambling.

[Rruchi man]

There seems to be a bias in the opinions of people regarding gender and gambling. Most persons in my locale consider gambling as something more appropriate for males than females, who made that a law?

-In my locale, a man who is considered a compulsive gambler may be overlooked if he is doing well regardless, but a for a woman, regardless of her financial state, will be perceived and considered highly irresponsible if she is found in a betting or gambling place.

-A man who is known to be a gambler may still be considered for marriage by a woman, but if a woman is known to be compulsive gambler before marriage, most men will run from them or not even get close enough to consider them for marriage.

Why the bias? should gambling be only for Men?

Scary to be a woman in your country, it seems that I understand maybe the rules have existed from time immemorial by the ancestors in your country, even already implemented by the government. Honestly I don't know where it is but it seems the rule can't be ignored, but for now women can gamble without other people knowing, especially in the crypto industry, they can choose gambling sites that can be accessed anonymously which also can using a mobile phone.

What do you care about the opinions of strangers? Gender stereotypes exist (and often have a very logical basis) but if the laws in your country are not discriminatory and everyone has equal rights, then you should not care about other people's opinions. The easiest way to stop suffering from stereotypes is to stop paying attention to them.

in responding to things like this it's only because of the region/country you live in, because if we look at it from the point of view of gambling and especially for countries where the majority of Muslims are probably still very worthy of being seen as taboo and even embarrassing.
but if you look at it or compare it from a country that adheres to a liberal system, this is considered a wetland and even gambling facilities can be used as a source of income for countries that legalize gambling, in simple terms the lottery is considered a snack that can indeed be done by all circles, including WOMEN and even children. children to adults.
what's more, nowadays with the sophistication of technology, it can facilitate gambling very openly from several sites to maintain privacy.

As for personal opinion and views then there's always that gender inequality on particular things on which men should only be the ones who would really be engaging on such thing.
Yes, there's no law but discrimination would really be there once women would touched up this area but since everything is free for your to engage on then no one can actually stop
you if you are a woman who do like to gamble.No matter what other people around you would see you but its not their business since its still your money to be spent not theirs.

Why the bias?

just like what KTChampions said "gender stereotypes".

should gambling be only for Men?

it should not and should never be. I am not sure where you are from but in my area seeing a woman gambling is normal. we are living in the 21st century where men and women can be whatever they want. anyway, regarding the marriage part. I don't care if you are a man or a woman but if you are a compulsive gambler, you are not fit for marriage.

[bitzizzix]

Maybe in the perspective of gambling is more suitable for men than women so it looks less appropriate, and another reason if addiction will have a negative impact on the family as a whole especially in the financial sector.
because most women after marriage do not work and will fully receive money from their partner to manage it properly so they worry about it will be spent on gambling.
and I also if I have a partner who likes to gamble, I will not let that happen and will try to eliminate it for the sake of my family later.

^ I don't call it bias because gambling is really for men not for women.
Women should on a financial state as you have said, once you are married, women are those who control the financial budget.
Basically, I don't know about this because I don't encounter a woman who frequently gambles and I think it is also about their dignity not to gamble or it should be gambling are not suitable to them, they should do a women's habit, not just a men's habit.

Exactly, we cannot please everyone but of course women have to fight for equality and for their rights so if they feel mistreated they can always file a case. In gambling, anyone can go as long as you have the money no matter what your gender is, if the laws and religions allows you to gamble then there should be no discrimination here. Just ignore those who throw hate at you and just enjoy gambling.

Gambling is for anyone who loves to do it! Of course, stereotypes exist and will always exist, besides there are some states (regions) that have "some strange laws sort of speaking", and it seems that we will not be able to get rid of these things in the near future... that's how it is!
I think each of us chooses to support something or not, systems are made from that! Unfortunately in some systems the situation is, to put it mildly, desperate! I'm a pretty open person and I don't mind women gambling, what's more, it's nice to see a beautiful girl kicking asses in some gambling game! But there are prejudices and even worse laws against women who gamble in some parts of the world, even though we are in the 21st century.
So what can we do?! We can't change countries and religions! What we can do is to be open-minded and to try not to point fingers at others for some stupid reasons! People should be free to do what they like to do if they don't hurt anyone, so we can hope that the world will be a better place for all in the future, cause now it's not for sure!

There are still many places who look down to women and seriously, this is not just on gambling but on many things. Women are different now its just that some countries are still living on an old era where women are not appreciated. If you’re women and living on that old town, better to leave and go for a places where you are important. This is gambling though, and it should be available to anyone who are qualified to gamble. Starts from yourself, never bully or discriminate anyone.

Not only applies in gambling but it also applies to other vices like drugs, alcoholism society tends to look at women in high regard because of religion and social upbringing they expect women to behave and be responsible because they are the homemaker that they are responsible for creating a good household and also it has something to do with machismo associated on men, but we are in a new society that what men can do women can do also but we just cannot take down the perception and expectation.

[crzy]

In my place we treated women the right way, we are living on a good equality and if you bully or discriminate women, for sure they will fight back. In gambling, we always look back to every gamblers no matter what their gender is because in my country many believes the money that you get from gambling is from the evil, so this is not new anymore and for sure it will last since gambling is really not a good activities for many people.

Women are brought up that way for thousands of years the society expects them to be modest in the old-time women are confined to homes and nurture the children we cannot take out that tradition easily there are still societies that practice it, where women should be at the mercy of their husband, only in a democratic society where women are given important roles and treated as equal, your country happens to be living in an old tradition

[tabas]

Gender bias has been existing ever since the age of time. It's not only in gambling that there's gender bias and there's women degrading with anything that they're involved with.
It's still there but for some countries and places, there's already the equality for both males and females. That's why those places that have been open with it are no longer experiencing this bias. But the sad truth is that there are still a lot of countries that do think of what you've stated OP.
It can't be gone too quick especially if the people there have been stick to that tradition and belief that females that do gamble shall be avoided and they have a different view on them.

[Sirait]

Why the bias? should gambling be only for Men?

This is a question that each individual has a different answer for, I personally support feminism (gender equality) but in some aspects of life, women still have boundaries that cannot be the same as men. in my country, women who gamble are considered naughty and unsuitable as wives, and social law is the reason why in my country the number of women who gamble is very few compared to other countries.

Because in most countries, females are preferred to be stay-at-home moms.
They are expected to do household chores and take care of the kids.
So if they see that the woman is in casinos or any gambling establishments, they are assuming that she can't hold those responsibilities.
But using online casinos, there will be no gender bias here, that's one benefit of online.
They won't ask you if you are female or not, you can play just like others, and no one knows you're playing unless, you will disclose it to your friends or colleagues.

That was been a stereotype for years and it is an issue that should be taken care of not only by your local government but those women around you that should make a noise and stand against that stereotype. But that wasn't only an issue in your country, that happens to most countries with female gamblers that are not being commonly seen in gambling places. Why the bias you ask? Well, with gambling places bombarded with old people that lives for decades and has the kind of old idea that 'a woman should be a housewife', then it isn't really common for them to see a woman gamble their money and play amongst men. Such ideology really sucks especially when women in such places are bullied because of their gender. It is just the matter of time until such oldies accepts the fact that gambling chooses no gender, just winners and daredevil players.

Dont know if we would really be reaching out that point because this isnt only limited to gambling industry alone but also in other things as well on where men do really be having
that kind of believe and impression that women should be staying up on the house and take care of children or making out some groceries.I dont know on why we do really have
that kind of mindset on which most of us does really believe but in overall or generally speaking that these activities doesnt really limit out for men.It is just we do put up into
our minds that men are the ones who do mainly play thats why seeing women will really be odd.

[Distinctin]

There's no law regarding that, it's just that men are more risk-takers than women so most of the gamblers are men. Women also are so emotional that some of them could not handle the stress, so gambling is not really a game for most women as it would only ruin their life in the long run.

Knowing the risk and managing it are very important, if a gambler can only do one, that would not work.
